>>1232076>No silly, you don't pick gearing like shoe size. You pick shoe size based on the size of your feet. You're not getting shoes tailored to you on a dropout wage or picking a size 23 shoe depending on your fitness level and terrain. Can you come up with a shittier analogy?Did you really read that from that statement or ar you just trying hard to be an edgelord? I mean, seriously.
>The guy says he wants to get rid of easier gears, so the first thing you get rid of is the hardest gear, then suddenly 8 speed drivetrains have unusable chainlines. Woe to bikes with 8 speed and up drive trains with their suboptimal slant and borked chainline. At least they're not spending their dropout wage on new spacers and locknuts because their autism compels them to make things up.
There is also an option that you don't understand what I am talking about. I can elaborate, if you wish. Although I reckon you'll just yell incoherently and call me names, like it is en-vogue here.
>130mm is current road standard whether you like it or not. You can still buy bikes spaced 130mm and 130mm parts are readily available. We also know from the context of your original statement you're clueless. You probably aren't even a real high school dropout.'Current' is what manufacturers push out at the high-end. Like or not, but that is true. 142x12 is 'current' because discs. in 10 years virtually all road bikes are going to roll on through axles, except for the lowest end. That is _new_. Go ahead and take a look. 130mm is an older standard which obviously has millions of bikes built to it since it is with us since mid 90s or so. I believe 8 speed dura-ace moved from 126mm.
Pic related. 12mm through axle aero carbon bike from Giant. MY2019. This is 'current'
